Speaking of Wonder Woman (not that you guys specifically were but rather, society in general) here's a question about her massively potential-squandering crossover epic, War of the Gods.

Each Direct Market issue of the series contained four mini posters by the always awesome Chris Sprouse that showcased various characters who were featured in the series.

Please name those characters. (Usual rules about limiting your guesses to the number of characters unidentified apply.)

1.
2.
3.
4.a.
4.b.
4.c.
4.d.
4.e.
4.f.
5.a.
5.b.
6.a.
6.b.
6.c.
6.d.
7.a.
7.b.
7.c.
7.d.
7.e.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.a.
14.b.
15.a.
15.b.
15.c.
16.

So that's 32 characters to get and I will start the CLUE ball rolling straight away:

CLUE #1: 13 of the 32 characters are in the public domain.

I have this one somewhere. I think I bought the first issue, and then picked up the rest years later. I'm not sure if I read them. But I would have got them for the Perez covers. A huge waste of potential there.

Wonder Woman
Hippolyta
Fury
Son of Vulcan
Donna Troy

Captain Marvel
Black Adam
Shazam
Doctor Fate
Hermes

Ares
Circe
Hades
Zeus
Poseidon

Deimos
Phobos
Ice
Aquaman
Superman

Hercules
Mercury
Pariah
Flash - Jay Garrick
Hawkman

Set
thoth
Jupiter
Hephaestus
Aphrodite


Maxi Zeus
Quetzalcoatl

The Perez covers certainly were beautiful. It's a shame the story was so disjointed and nonsensical. I remember thinking at the time that I probably just didn't understand it because I hadn't read many of the tie-in issues. But I read a retrospective review of it recently and apparently, even with those tie-in issues it made no sense!

I've heard that George Perez has been quite outspoken about how DC dropped the ball in their management of this series (and there certainly were glaring errors - I remember whole pages where the panels had been laid out incorrectly) but I wonder if it wasn't just a mix of poor editorial oversight and a writer who wasn't ready to tell such a sprawling crossover epic by himself that did it in.

Anyhoo,

1. Wonder Woman
2. Circe
3. Captain Marvel
4.a.
4.b. Zeus
4.c. Hercules
4.d.
4.e.
4.f. Mercury
5.a. Ares
5.b.
6.a.
6.b.
6.c.
6.d.

7.d.
7.e.

11. Superman
12.
13. Black Adam
14.a.
14.b. Hawkman
15.a. Ice
15.b.
15.c.
16. Troia

20 characters to guess!

CLUE #1: 13 of the 32 characters are in the public domain.

NOT: Hippolyta, Fury, Son of Vulcan, Shazam, Doctor Fate, Hermes, Hades, Poseidon, Deimos, Phobos, Aquaman, Pariah, Flash (Jay Garrick), Set, Thoth, Jupiter, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Maxi Zeus, Quetzalcoatl.

Please name those characters. (Usual rules about limiting your guesses to the number of characters unidentified apply.)

CLUE #1: 13 of the 32 characters are in the public domain.
CLUE #2: Of the 13 public domain characters, 4 of them are actually listed as their species, rather than by their individual names (if they ever had one), so you just need to name their species to identify all 4 characters.
CLUE #3: Only 3 of the remaining 14 characters are heroic.

NOT: Hippolyta, Fury, Son of Vulcan, Shazam, Doctor Fate, Hermes, Hades, Poseidon, Deimos, Phobos, Aquaman, Pariah, Flash (Jay Garrick), Set, Thoth, Jupiter, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Maxi Zeus, Quetzalcoatl, Zatanna, Harbinger, Eris, Demonia, Phantom Stranger, Cheetah, Poison Ivy, Count Vertigo, Giganta, Dr Cyber, Silver Swan, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan).

Another great question Blacula.

I'll go with some villains this time.

As Black Adam led a Suicide Squad mission:-
Deadshot
Captain Boomerang
Enforcer
Psycho Pirate (possibly gone in Animal Man by then, but I recall whiny Pariah being part of this)

A couple of Antiheroes:-
Amanda Waller (debatably and going with that Suicide Squad guess)
...um.. the '90s were full of people with guns and pointy things instead of limbs...I've tried Gardner...Lobo smile


Heroes

Nightshade (again with the suicide squad)
Julia Kapatelis (Ibby's gone with good guesses on the wonder woman supporting cast and J'Onn and Fire)

Public Domain
Mars (in league with Ares and I've tried Jupiter already)

Lobo...oh dear....smile

I just noticed that if all the Shazam ones are grouped together as are the Harpies, then the "7s" could all be Bats related. D'Oh!

Robin
Joker
Penguin
Riddler
Catwoman
Bane (was he around at that time?)

No doubt sales perked up with that decision too, and that's what it's about. I've always felt he outstays his welcome very quickly if not handled well.... L.E.G.I.O.N. JLA ... then he was in the Quiet Darkness in the TMK run...busy boy.

I was just remembering that I picked p a series called Hammerlocke. A lot of that was to do with the Chris Sprouse art.

Mister Freeze
Two Face

All those random non-DCU DC mini-series' intrigue me. It seemed like every other month I was seeing a DC House-Ad at the back of a comic for some weird comic starring characters I'd never heard of before, and then never heard mentioned again - Hammerlocke, Sonic Disruptors, Gammarauders, Silverblade... sometimes they had good talent behind them but I wonder who the market for them was.

Please name those characters. (Usual rules about limiting your guesses to the number of characters unidentified apply.)

CLUE #1: 13 of the 32 characters are in the public domain.
CLUE #2: Of the 13 public domain characters, 4 of them are actually listed as their species, rather than by their individual names (if they ever had one), so you just need to name their species to identify all 4 characters.
CLUE #3: Only 3 of the remaining 14 characters are heroic.
CLUE #4: Only 1 public domain character left.
CLUE #5: 7 of the remaining 9 characters are not super-heroes, although 2 of that 7 have often been depicted as 'anti-heroes'.
CLUE #6: 5 of the remaining 6 characters would be controlled by the same DC Group Editor.
CLUE #7: The 2 remaining characters have both been portrayed on screen by different actors and in different franchises.
CLUE #8: Of the remaining 2 characters, 1 is Golden Age and 1 is Bronze Age.
CLUE #9: A careful review of the clues above reveals that the final character is a) not in the public domain; b) not a 'hero' but is sometimes depicted as an 'anti-hero'; c) not controlled by the 'Batman Family' Group Editor; d) been portrayed on screen by different actors and in different franchises; and e) from the Bronze Age.
FINAL CLUE: The last remaining character has had 4 solo series'.

NOT: Hippolyta, Fury, Son of Vulcan, Shazam, Doctor Fate, Hermes, Hades, Poseidon, Deimos, Phobos, Aquaman, Pariah, Flash (Jay Garrick), Set, Thoth, Jupiter, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Maxi Zeus, Quetzalcoatl, Zatanna, Harbinger, Eris, Demonia, Phantom Stranger, Cheetah, Poison Ivy, Count Vertigo, Giganta, Dr Cyber, Silver Swan, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Lex Luthor, Wotan, Guy Gardner, Hera, Martian Manhunter, Athena, Etta Candy, Steve Trevor, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Enforcer, Psycho Pirate, Amanda Waller, Nightshade, Julia Kapatelis, Catwoman, Bane, Katana, Geo-Force, Halo, Black Lightning, Looker, Metamorpho, Starman (Will Payton), Mister Freeze, Nightwing.

I was round at my folks today, and looked out Hammerlocke for later reading smile

...nips off to get first issue through... leaves LW to it's own devices... returns... puts on shocked expression at the depravity LW got up to in only a minute...cleans up LW's mess....again...

It's cover dated 1992 and the strapline is "Tomorrow's superhumans are here!"

So I'd say that it was out to get those Legion fans that didn't find TMK to their taste smile

There's your standard older alpha male leader (see Atari Force etc. ), a Dawnstar figure, an Obsidian look a like and a Western character. They are in front of what could be a Time Beacon.

Edit: Oops! Just spotted the update post. 4 solo titles seems like lots. But then, there's the recent Rebirth. Then there was DCNu. So, if they had even one series back when they started they'd have three. The next DC Event Villain should be The Churner smile

The only "popular" DC anti hero I remember from around the '90s was Deathstroke in Titans Hunt. He did have his own book back then, and I know he was in one of the recent relaunches too. Not sure if he counts as Bronze Age (due to me being fuzzy on the dates of that Age).

Deathstroke it is!

I don't remember him having much of a role in the series but I think it probably came out around the same time his first solo did, so he was probably riding a wave of popularity then (as he seems to be doing again now).

I'm iffy on when the 'Ages' are supposed to begin/end too but I usually just consider Crisis a good end-point for the Bronze Age.

And here is a page showing all of the characters in their awesome Sprouse glory:

Now I need to go pack for a flight! Your turn Thoth!

Yay!

I'll recharge and come back with a question shortly. Thanks for the link to the posters. I notice that there's a direct edition with them in it. I wonder if I got another version that didn't have them. Sprouse's art certainly has something distinctive about it.

In Final Crisis, a group of villains gather around to see the end of Martian Manhunter. Who was around the table?

No, you must list all the villains there ever were! smile

I did say table, and it wasn't a beer hall so that narrows it down to ... yeah fair enough I didn't count... smile

Doctor Light
Libra
Lex Luthor


Not: Joker; Sinestro


I count another 7
